“He’s awake sir.”
“Bring up the stasis room camera on the main screen.”
A live stream of footage of the astronaut puking came up on the wall-sized monitor at the front of the room. Besides the giant monitor, the room contained several smaller televisions on the surrounding walls, each streaming footage of a different part of the spacecraft. On the floor of the room was thirty tables, each holding two sets of computer equipment that were each being monitored by a diligent scientist. At the back of the room was a glass wall, behind which was the main control room.
“How are his vitals?”
“His BP is low. 90 over 52, but beyond that everything looks good.”
The astronaut could be seen finally standing up on the monitor.
“Connect the audio link. I want to be able to talk to him.”
There was a slight pause as a scientist on the floor typed some things on his keyboard and clicked around with his mouse. “You’re connected sir.”
“Caleb, how are you feeling?”
“Who is that?” The astronaut on the monitor said with a hoarse, raspy voice.
“Caleb, it’s mission control. This is Jack speaking to you.”
“Jack.” The astronaut, Caleb, suddenly coughed, “I’m a bit disoriented, nauseated, and my throat hurts. Otherwise I feel great.”
“Good to hear.” Jack said. “Do you remember what your job is?”
“Yeah. I need to get the ship ready for the other astronaut’s awakening.”
“And do you remember what that entails?”
“Um… not really. I am going to need you guys to walk me through it.”
“Will do. Gretchen, walk Caleb through the awakening procedure.”
“Yes sir.”
